Buying Evora GT 430
Discussion
Very close to putting a deposit down on a GT 430 . Is there anything I should know/avoid/talk myself out of?
Have had a string of Astons so this will be quite a change but love the feel of it.
Also, it is in a dark metallic green which is fine, but would it be sacrilege to have it wrapped in Gulf colours?

Putting a colour scheme on any Lotus looks best IMO if it's one of their own sponsors. If you don't want black then "Gold Leaf" always seems to work well or even "Essex".
Yes, that's what I am thinking, probably preferring the Gold Leaf livery.Doers anyone have any experience of good people in that business?

Is there a recommended lotus club - I see there is more than one owners club?
A great choice. I think that you’ll find it very different to your previous Astons. Has the GT430 got the carbon seats or the Sparcos?Is there a recommended lotus club - I see there is more than one owners club?
You’ll find plenty of other GT430 owners over here: https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/92021-...

Yes, it's got the carbon seats which, even for a land whale like me, seem pretty comfortable.You’ll find plenty of other GT430 owners over here: https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/92021-...
Thanks for the steer on the forum.

Another good choice! It will really feel different to your previous Astons (even if you’ve had the carbon buckets in a V12V or a DBS). Lots of owners with the Lotus carbon seats feel that they sit too ‘upright’. You can buy aftermarket brackets to adjust the angle of the seat(s) and give more thigh support.

Racing Green Evoras look amazing with gold wheels. I nearly bought the 410 Sport with gold wheels that Silverstone have, couldn't agree the price so bought a old Ferrari instead .....
I don't think that dark metallic green is racing green though.Gassing Station | Evora | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
